At one time Veroesjka Steeland (38) started in the prepack department, back then still situated in Gullegem.

After TVH's move to Waregem in 2004, she simply moved as well. "Before I started with TVH, I worked in a 3-shift system. But once you have kids, working in a shift system is not that obvious. That is why I started looking for day work 12 year ago, and I was able to start with TVH in the prepack department. Now I am employed as a technical employee entry check. This means that I unpack the parts that are delivered. I check the dimensions and other technical details and compare them to the values in our system. I take pictures that are then uploaded into our database file and check the parts for damage.“

“It is a technical function, but more and more women are taken into employment. So it is definitely no longer a typical man's world.”

“It is a technical function, in which mostly men were employed in the past. But in the course of the years many female colleagues have joined. My team of 37 people already includes 11 women. So we can already hold our own very well in the meantime. I enjoy working here: I like it and the atmosphere in the team is very good. You will definitely don't hear me say that I'm dissatisfied: I even met my husband here!”
